Leading Tolkien-ologist David Day unearths all manner of facts and trivia about the most iconic race on Middle Earth in this must have volume for fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Wonderfully immersive and dangerously addictive, The Hobbits of Tolkien is a beautifully produced addition to literary fantasy lore.
An entire race was born when J.R.R. Tolkien scrawled on a leaf, 'In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.' From the invention of that single word (hobbit) Tolkien became the explorer and chronicler of the character, their race and their significant role in his fantastical world, Middle-earth.
Here in his latest book, Tolkien expert David Day unpicks the myriad of riddles, puns and mystical meanings in Tolkien's works; The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
